As they await the results of their surgery examinations smoking their healthy cigarettes, Tony Britton ponders if it might be better if he opened a bistro and William Roache wonders if he might get a week or two's employment in a TV soap

Jack Dearlove is among the anxious ones waiting for the pomposity of the results announcement as Tony rushes to meet his girlfriend Miss Pamela Benson-Gray, a most atypical role for Miss Vanessa Redgrave

As the Royal College of Surgeons of England trumpet the great news to Tony, I see John Tatum, Pat Ryan, Reg Thomason and Jeff Silk among the magnanimous failures. Pat appears again near the end of the film as an attendant called Lucas at a drug rehabilitation hospital

Tony and Vanessa and her lipstick are all friendly with Carl Mohner in the lobby of the Royal Hospital as Norman Fisher dithers around in the background, but still makes sure the camera catches him

Vanessa's dad plays Pamela's dad and although he's not quite in the Sir Lancelot Spratt league of condescension, the junior docs still feel they need to hang on his words every bleeding time, and that includes John Gale on the left and John Payne on the right.

Some of our favourites go X rated in The Sex Thief (1973). Well it's a living...

​

Reporter Guy Standeven and Photographer Reg Thomason listen incredulously to porn star Linda Coombes (Back to Camera) tale of being ravished by the Sex Thief. James Aubrey behind Guy, is another of the scribblers.

Playing around looking at From Russia With Love again tonight, and in the opening chess match, we can see lurking in the background:

Looks like Bob Raymond in the front row, and definitely Ernest Blyth peeking over his head. Paul Beradi can be seen for one frame before he disappears behind the column, too.

Edwin Fowles and James Ure behind the Bill Shine lookalike, and maybe Barry Johns in the shades.

The waiter delivering the message to Vladek Sheybal is Robert Vossler, and as Sheybal leaves we can quickly see Michael Dempsey and Alf Casha in the crowd (i naddition to Aileen Lewis and Juba Kennerly, who I think have already been noted).
